The existing canon list for Tai was garbage so someone made some of their own. I'm honestly not sure. Maybe it adds more versatility like incorporating some elemental combos into it - One of the highest rank tech also has some sort of reaction boost. Basically just expanding upon the existing moveset.What do you know about NB Taijutsu? How is the ability different from basic tai?
Yeah I've only bought the basic one yetThe canon list is fine IMO. Yes, Kaito's Taijutsu was created by an older member to be used in the RP, but its different from the regular canon techniques because K'tai has the added effect of Elemental Taijutsu natures to augment the Taijutsu movements. There is the basic version and the restricted version, and I'm assuming you have the basic version correct?
Ok. We'll begin with the C ranks and move on from there. Explain how the techniques work, and ask any questions you have.
( Toppyoushimonai Okane ) - Crazy Monkey

I got a general question for Taijutsu after reading all these. If someone hits me with any highest rank Tai that equals to about 120 damage and.. and I just don't try to avoid the attack in the first place and use that time period to simply release a proximity lightning tech... think of Chidori Nagashi but higher ranked and boosted damage up to 140 (somehow). Also assuming it has no handseals. That would be unavoidable surely? Basically just imagine Lee running up to Sasuke and Sasuke decides to get hight and releases lightning from his body while that's happening. The opponent is trapped and it's too fast for them to avoid get electrocuted right?Speaking from experience, when you go into the air people don't generally let you come down, but just stretch out the timeframe to its limits and keep you airborn. It's annoying tbh. Crane kick can be seen in the critically acclaimed 1984 film The Karate Kid.
Next set!

Damage points: 30
Description: The user jumps towards the target, raising both arms up while baring their elbows down towards the opponent’s head. At the same time they bring their knees up towards the target’s jaw, resulting in a pincer-like strike.
Nagashi was just an example of the type of jutsu I was trying to give a hypothesis about. But yeah I guess even if it's doable in the actual series, it's not that viable in the RP. No more questions for this set.Well if you do that you'll be making the timeframe so tight you might end up breaking it and lose anyway.
In regards to your question, it depends on a number of things. It depends on the speed of the person attacking you and the range. In short range, taijutsu is always faster than ninjutsu since you're required to mold and release the chakra, and the nagashi would have to hit the opponent to paralyze them. So depending on their speed and distance they could have time to dodge. Lastly, Nagashi doesn't do damage so I'm unsure how you'd boost it to 140 damage.
I have a question actually. Are lower ranked /offensive/ techniques ever useful in the current state of RP, or are they just there for the sake of existing? Because with the health system, I'm not sure what use it would be. Sure if it serves some other creative purpose, it's fine, but if it's purely for attacking, am I right to say it's all just useless?Ok. Moving on then

Oh alright, I'll look up some battles to get an idea of how low ranks fit in. No more questions for this setIt serves a purpose and isn't useless. It all depends on one's creativity in using the techniques. I've gotten a log of milage out of my clans C-ranked Fank over fang technique
